I don’t know much about Picayune, but I have law enforcement family who went to help after Katrina. All this time later they still talk about Picayune and how the officials there handled everything so well. I don’t know who they forced to do what, but I do know that according to our guys, you were the only town they checked on that was civil, fed, and safe. Whatever they did was probably best for the community

hmmmm, Looks like Mr. Foster is not very aware of Picayune. Anyone from Picayune knows Raceway and Walmart/Murphy dictate the price here. I have never seen anything but keithco comparable to them. Its people like this that comment and have no idea what they are talking about. His 2 seconds of fame………..gone.

KeithCo. That’s the same distributor who had former state senator Sid Albritton show up with the guard to commandeer his company. Wasn’t he forced off his property at gunpoint? If you’re gonna accuse him of price gouging go ahead and do it, but stop trashing him in the comments.

price gouging in picayune, ms can be attributed to keithco distribution company that supplys gas to almost all gas stations in this area. this needs to be investigated. with the economy is what it is we cannot afford to make one rich guy richer nat our expense when we can least afford it.
